    He's been doing this for a while, among other covers. It's fantastic, in my opinion. Someone posted a link here a while back for an acoustic set in Sweden that he did, which includes this, TOTD tracks, some Soundgarden/Audioslave, and both Marley and Costello covers as well. Worth doing a search for, it's become one of my favorite boots.

    It's not that bad. It is kinda cool. And yes I like Tesla's cover of Thank You too.
    My whole life looked like a picture of a sunny day.

    I don't think he's jumped the shark, but he definitely lost his edge.

    The version from Sweden he did solo is betetr than the one on Yahoo right now.
    Also his cover of "Thank You" was excellent.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt

    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Cornells version of Billie Jean will actually give you more respect to Michael Jackson. It's that good. Amazing.
    Beavis: All my friends are brown and red? What does that mean?
    Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
    Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
    Butthead: Huh huh.

    Michael Jackson deserves respect? He is more than likely a child molester.

    why should that change the fact that he is / was an amazing musician?? from what ive heard about his childhood, being fucked up was unavoidable...

    For his musical career/abilities, absolutely!

    I think that one can respect Michael Jackson's work and art, which in my opinion is unquestionable. The guy obviously has/had a shitload of talent.

    However, respecting the guy is another thing altogether.

    That was bad ass. His voice actually sounded really strong.

    Say what you want about Michael, but Billie Jean is a GREAT song

    The Sweden gig was pretty cool, but his voice was sounding really hoarse, so he sounded like he was struggling a bit. His voice is 100 times better now. He sounds really good on Billy Jean, and the recent live performances of Say hello to heaven show exactly what he is still capable of.

    You should hear NIN's version of Jackson's 'Heal the World'.

    Have you heard him sing it? I have. It works amazingly well. Even the words of the song have more meaning when he sings it.

    Don't knock it until you hear it.
